Thank you, First Command Financial Services, for sponsoring the Field Mess and helping us turn uncertain weather into one of the most successful parts of the U.S. POLO ASSN. National Commander-in-Chief Military Polo Tournament

Through careful planning, strong partnerships and a team ready to adjust, the Field Mess tent remained welcoming and full throughout the day as guests gathered over First Commander-in-Chief signature cocktails and Square Away Parfaits, to enjoy a day of polo together.

First Command helps military families put a plan in motion and prepare for life’s unexpected events, and that same spirit of preparation and follow-through was evident in its partnership with Liberty Hall.

We hope all of our guests enjoy these screens from the Field Mess and will join again soon!

As Title Sponsor of the National Commander-in-Chief Cup, U.S. Polo Assn. helped weave together polo, military, history, families and our Virginia community for a tournament and a day that outshone the rain. We’ve heard time and again that this was the most memorable polo and America250 event our guests have ever attended.

Thank you, U.S. Polo Assn. for helping to showcase authentic polo at Liberty Hall.

Well - What an incredible day! We had the joys of unpredictable Virginia weather and the beautiful historic Horse Country. Loads more photos and to come, but I think this video was the winner of my day.

1” of rain between 0800 and 1200 pushed the start time from 12 to 1 pm and scrubbed our USNA Jumper.

MOST of our guests still came - 635 on property - weathered the rain and the mud (James pulled 10 VIPs out and 5 horse trailers with Wall.E the Bobcat) Little Fork Fire and Large Animal rescue crew out to enjoy the day with us.

General George (Erwin Optiz) and Lady Liberty Bell (Lynne Bell) opened the games with the National anthem to a packed tent and full ridge of Tailgates. Due to the rain we were unable to use the wireless mics, so Lynne just belted it out, her joyful noise made it 100’ up to fill the ridge. Behind GW and LLB is Team Taylor (won the championship) and Team Eisenhower.

All of this possible though the incredible support of Liberty Hall family - Caroline, Alex, Nichole, James, Cole, Brady, Mackenzie, Mallorie and our I/I team kids who helped all day: Danny, Pepe, Mackenzie and Simi. Lauren and Sophia Culpeper Minute Men, all of the polo parents helping out, boarders, neighbors and friends. JR and Kailee Kennelly who made our social media beautiful. Mountain Run Winery and Shiloh made the bar the coolest place to be. We SO appreciate all of you and lending us your talents for the day.

All of our old sponsors and new ones - thank you for sharing this event with us!!!

We will be hosting another Military Event in September/October feathering the jumpers and military players. Watch for details!

WEATHER UPDATE FOR TODAY'S GAMES!
The Championship Match is now scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.

Costume Change from Polo Chic - Steeple Chase Fall Races Chic!
(wear your boots and rain coats!)

Due to this morning’s rain, we are delaying the start of today’s National Commander-in-Chief Polo Tournament at Liberty Hall.

Our players have traveled from across the country — including Texas, Hawaii, Florida, Maryland and Washington, D.C. — and one has traveled from France to compete for the Commander-in-Chief Championship Tomahawks. The polo will go forward as field conditions allow, despite the rain.

Unfortunately, the U.S. Naval Academy Sky Goats have scrubbed their jump for the entire day. They would have originated from Delaware, where heavier rain has made today's flight and jump impossible. They have told us they would love to return and jump for another game at Liberty Hall.

The First Command Financial Services Field Mess is set, the food is here and the drinks are at the bar. We welcome all of our guests who would still like to come out and enjoy the day at Liberty Hall. Tailgaters are welcome as well — bring those tents, but make sure they are securely staked!

AND WE'RE GOING TO DO IT AGAIN

We know the parachute jump, outdoor military pageantry and full day were an important part of what everyone purchased tickets to experience.

We will schedule another outdoor military polo game at Liberty Hall in September or October and invite the Sky Goats to join us.

Everyone with admission for today's event will be invited back at no additional charge:

Field Mess table and ticket guests: complimentary admission and tailgating

Tailgate purchasers: complimentary tailgate

General Admission purchasers: complimentary admission and car pass

We will send the new date and details as soon as they are confirmed.

Today's event was scheduled as rain or shine and remains a rain-or-shine event, so everything has been set to continue with the polo and hospitality. We welcome all to come out regardless of the rain.

Thank you for your flexibility, your support and your willingness to roll with Virginia weather.

We hope to see you at Liberty Hall this afternoon. Championship polo begins at 1:00 p.m.
